Map & live prices by our partner
The guest houses on this page range from budget-friendly stays under €60 to more refined options above €200. At the budget end, Egans House offers a historic location for €54, while Tipperary House is a reliable base near Heuston Station for just €34. For a mid-range splurge, options like Number 31 and Ariel House combine high guest ratings with amenities like free parking or an adults-only atmosphere. When choosing, think about what matters most: location near nightlife, quiet suburbs, or value for money.
Several are steps from the action: The Norseman Temple Bar and O'Neills Victorian Pub & Townhouse are right in Temple Bar, while Number 31 and O'Donoghue'S are near St Stephen's Green. Fitzwilliam Townhouse is a short walk from Grafton Street, and The Merchant House is close to Trinity College.
Prices vary widely, from €34 at Tipperary House to €219 at Number 31. Most mid-range guest houses, like Kilronan House at €112 or Pembroke Townhouse at €118, offer a comfortable stay without the premium price tag. Budget options like Egans House (€54) and No 9 Rathgar (€48) are also available.
A hearty breakfast is a hallmark of many Dublin guest houses. Butlers Townhouse and Donnybrook Hall are praised for their breakfasts, while Celtic Lodge Guesthouse includes it in the price. For a standout morning meal, Ariel House's breakfast is particularly well-reviewed.
Yes, two on this page are adults-only. Number 31 is a serene Georgian stay near St Stephen's Green, while The Merchant House offers a quiet, central retreat. Both are ideal for couples or solo travellers seeking peace.
The Dublin Express and Aircoach buses run frequently into the city centre, dropping off near many of these guest houses. For properties in Ballsbridge, the Aircoach serves the DART station at Sydney Parade, a short walk from places like Ariel House and Aberdeen Lodge. Taxis are also available but cost more, especially during peak hours.
Dublin's guest houses are where the city's character really comes through. In the Georgian squares of Ballsbridge and the leafy suburbs of Rathgar, these are often family-run affairs with a proper Irish breakfast, a sitting room you can actually use, and a host who knows the neighborhood. They cluster around the city's pulse points—St Stephen's Green, Temple Bar, Trinity College—putting you within walking distance of everything that matters.
For the money, you get more than a hotel room: private parking in Ballsbridge, a lively pub downstairs in Temple Bar, or a quiet garden in the suburbs. Prices start around €54 for a simple, central base and go up to €219 for something more polished, like a Georgian townhouse with a top-rated breakfast.
This collection of guest houses suits travellers who want an authentic, personalised stay in Dublin—whether that means a chatty host who knows the best local pub, a garden to enjoy in the morning, or a location where the city's history and nightlife are literally on your doorstep. If you prefer the amenities of a full-service hotel, like a 24-hour gym or a buzzy lobby bar, you'd be better served by the city's central hotels. Families might find the family rooms and flexible layouts in our family-friendly selection more practical, and those driving into the city should compare options with parking to avoid Dublin's pricey garages. For a romantic weekend, the adults-only retreats here are a great start, but if you're celebrating something special, you might find more luxurious options in the romantic hotels list. Ultimately, the right stay depends on your priorities: value, location, or character—each is well represented above.
